About the Journal

Focus and Scope

Dear colleagues! Welcome to our web-site!

Series «Mathematical Modelling, Programming & Computer Software» of the South Ural State University Bulletin was created in 2008. Nowadays it is published four times a year.

The basic goal of the editorial board as well as the editorial commission of series «Mathematical Modelling, Programming & Computer Software» is research promotion in the sphere of mathematical modelling in natural, engineering and economic science.

Priority publication right is given to:

• the results of high-quality research of mathematical models, revealing less obvious properties;
• the results of computational research, containing designs of new computational algorithms relating to mathematical models;
• program systems, designed for computational experiments.

These results can be presented in the form of reviews, full articles, as well as in the form of short reports (for young scientists, masters, post-graduate students). Moreover, the sections «Mathematical Activity» and «Personalia» can be found on our web-site.

We are looking for the cooperation with authors having common purposes and goals with the Bulletin of the South Ural State University, Series «Mathematical Modelling, Programming & Computer Software».
